The reason we chose fully autonomous weapons and mass domestic surveillance as the areas where we simply can't say yes is because the technology is so new that we do not believe the laws may be perfectly designed to account for how the technology could work.

Statement relation comments

AI Verified The quote is directly about mass domestic surveillance and says the author’s side “cannot say yes” to it, which strongly signals opposition to government use of AI for that purpose. The source context makes the connection explicit, so the stance on the complete statement is determinable. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-mini-2026-03-17 · 34min ago

AI Verified Recorded for; Amodei explicitly rejects using AI for mass domestic surveillance, supporting a government ban. · Hector Perez Arenas gpt-5.6 · 32min ago
AI Verified The quote treats “mass domestic surveillance” as a hard no—“areas where we simply can't say yes”—and the article context says Anthropic has a red line against participation in mass surveillance systems, so this strongly implies support for banning governments from using AI that way.
